The Christmas Hearth.

The Christmas Hearth.
Room for the living and the dead
Room for the happy, blooming faces,
With eyes that scarce tear have shed,
Crowned with their crowns OF youthful gTacee
Room for the friends whose lives with ours
With equal footsteps walk together.
Through rough and smooth, through snow ant
flowers,
Through summer airs and wtntry weather.
Room for the Sunlight of the world.
We rave in prose and rhyme about her
All lives are in her ringlets curled,
And dark would be the skies without her.
Room for the loves of days outworn,
Room for the friendships lost and shattered,
Like flowers In balmy spring time born,
In autumn scentle.s, dead and scattered
Room, too for shadowy phantom forms
Oh dear dead friends OF other days
The heart with quickened pulses warns,
The eyes look dim through fearful haze
Who come from graves In seas and sands,
And crowd around our Christmas hearth,
With yearning eyes and out,tretched hands,
Recalling all their ancient worth.
Room. too for fancied hopes and fears
That vanished a. We met OF sought them
For vanished laughter, vanish, d tears
Anu all the Joys and griefs that brought them
To-day every heart Ak pands.
The taste of II e is sharp.r- sWeeter;
To-day God plares in our hands
Prospero's wand, the Keys Of Peter.
With one we touch the frozen stream,
And swift by tower-crowr ed banks 1t PUSHES;
The sun sheds down warmer beam
The cheek OF morn more redly flu hes,
Hard eyes. whose tears are under lock-
We ouch them with our fairy rod,
And loi they flow rs when the rock
Was smitten in the mount of God
From ashes of long smouldering love
The flames of new affection rise;
lninfancy once again we rove
With happier hearts meath brighter skies;
And all the fes, joys hopes, ard fears,
That once had power 10 mar or make US,
Well up for distant scenes and years
We feel they never Will forsake us.
And with the other. Gods own hand
Hath given such power to happy mortals,
We loose glorious shining band
OF angel forms from heavens portals
The turl-crowned heads are brig liter now,
The infant voices sweeter-clearer,
The sunlight breaks from lip ana brow
.. death and distance make ye dearer
DIa7. near, draw near. to-day, at last,
The joys that burn so clear and tender,
The twilight glories Of the past,
The coming time with ali Its splendor.
Come love, and friend aud wife and child,
And ghosty forms that long TO press us,
With voices like the night-wind wild
. pray that heaven may hear and bless us.
Draw round the roaring Christmas hearth
Clasp hands. and raise your voices higher,
With all The voices OF the earth,
To form one universal choir.
Sing, till the music pierce the sky,
From north and south and east and west,
"All glory be 10 God on high,
On earth ye men of peace be best"

Authorizations of Food and Drink.

The worst of the criminal classes are not
those who forge, rob, and murder, but the
men who adulterate the food aud drink Of
the people. They produce death and sick
ness, entailipg lingering illness upon
thousands and constitutional hereditary dis
eases upon unborn generations.
The slaughter of the innocents by Herod
was as nothing compared to the slaughter
Of children by these adulterators Of food
and drink.
Various efforts have been made by state
and municipal authorities to stop it, but so
far all have failed. We have Just seen how
Wholesale poisoning was conducted In Phil
adelphia by the bakers using chrome to
color that favorite food for children, buns.
Almost every week we read OF greater or
lesser number OF people poisoned by ice
cream. No one knows whether the food he
buys is what 1t claims to be or not. Every
day We see advertisements OF rival baking
powders to be used In bread In which the
manufacturers accuse each other OF using
deleterious materials.
1t is time that halt should be callel,
time that the strong hand Of the law should
interfere TO protect the people from these
adulterators- poisoners, we could more
properly say. The law puuishes the rob
her, the thief, the forger who takes or
attempts to takethe property OF another. 1t
punishes the murderer who, with knife,
pistol, or bludgeon, takes life, but 1t leaves
unharmed these insidious murderers, who
sap life by slow degrees and slaughter
children by hecatomhs.
Nation, state, and municipality ought Ia
unite in the most stringent measures to
protect the people. No false theories, no
outcries against "paternal government
should prevent Congress from adopting the
most rigid measures to prevent the adultera
tion OF food and drink.
Laws should be passed as inflexible as
those Of the Medes and Persians, providing
for the most rigid inspection of every arti-
Gle. 1t is too late TO say that 1t cannot be
done, after the passage OF the oleomarsa.

Let us have pure food and drink, aud let

The conventions OF the people every

to packages OF imported wines, liquors, AMI
beer should be amended so as to prevent a
retail business in original packages, intended
to tyade state laws-that tho imp)rtltion Of
these articles should only be permitted in bulk
in such sized packages as will permit thorough
ond rigid inspection, which should be provided
so as to prevent the importation OF any alul-
torated articles Of food or drink, and that the
arbitrary discrimination made In various Euro
pean countries against American food pro-
ducts should be met by corresponding dis.
elimination on the part of this government,
through increased duties on foreign wines,

nominations OF the Democratic convention
OF Ohio, at Cleveland, last week. 1t was
rewarded by eulogy to an extreme, and In
dorsemert covering even free trade and
flags, in fact, the utterunces of the speakers
ard the platform almost amounted to syco-
phancy. One Of the apointed speaks Of
President Cleveland in language of re-
ligious zeal, and says "that his hands are
rCRSccrdtcd to the work OF the Democracy"
Powell said, in his address, which WAS
oily and aggressive, dealing out compli-
ments in every direction-first to his po-
litical progenitor, Senator Payne, who holds
the key to the money bags; then to the
"old Roman,n Senator Thurman, whom
he once deserted aud betrayed;
then to the candidates who COM
reted with him for the nomination
in words OF fullsome euloGy, then compl!-
menting the Democracy, giving them praise
for securing the high public credit Of the
nation, for cheap money, for abundant har-
vests, for the prosperity OF our industries, for
the restoration OF the public domain, for de-
festir . the schemes for plundering the pub
lie treasury Of its surplus revenues, claimed
that the Democratic party was the specla
guardian of the pensioners, and finally Mr..
Powell stretched out his hand for the power
and patronage Of tho national administra-
tion to aid him in his canvass by exclaim'
ING with great emphasis: IL am bat Stating
simple truth when l say that Grover
Cleveland carried into the white house more
conscience and more courage than any OF
his predecessors since the days OF Andrew
Jackson"
1t is evident that Mr.. Powell expects IN
be defeated, and has his eye upon a first
class foreign mission. The contest in Ohio
this fall has been made national one, the
administration has made the issues, called
the convention in advance OF the Repub-
licans to test the strength of President
Cleveland before the people. The Repuh-
licans at Toledo this week will meet the
challenge with firm front, and do battle
for the Republican cause with as gallant Q
leader as ever led an army Of patliots, witt
righteous cause, to victory.

perimental hringS, so far from being an arg1-
inent against the efficiency of the battery, only
shows clearly the necessity Of better mountings
or fittings for these modern hlgh-power guns.
1t was the clips aud clip circles that gave way,
This need will direct attention to the new
pneumatic gun carriages, which have been

guns can be trained and loaded, but also for
the manner In which the recoii is takeu up
Congress appropriated $4,000 at It's last sos-
sion for the purchase of one pneumatic gun
carriage. The board OF officers, OF which CAPT.
Howell was president, had been struck by the
perfect readiness with which the great IL
Inch gun at Sandy Hook had been managed
on q carriage of this sort, one man only being
required TO elevate or depress the hugs pieoe,
while tho checking Of the rec)il was m %. sue
ccssful Accordingly, q few weeks, ago the In
ventors submitted to Secretary Whitney de-
signs for carriage for the s iuch naval guns,
the very caliber that has made 50 much trouble
on the Atlanta. II can hardly be doubted tia;
efforts will now be directed to hurrying to
completion the specimen carriage OF this sort
ordered by Congress.
Gen. Benet, chief of ordnance of the
army, was so well pleased with the per
formance of the pneumatic gun carriage at
Sandy Hook In every particular, recoil
check included, that he recommended to
the appropriations committees OF Congress
In charge OF the fortitications bill that one
more 12-inch, one s-inch, an1 disappear.
ing carriage be built on the same principle,
aud the committees agreed to appropriate
Sl50,000 for the purpose. The failure OF
the Notifications bill prevented the recon-
mendation Of Gen. Benet and approval OF
the committee from being executed. 1t
seems to be the wisest policy for Secretary
Whitney to stop the experimenting OF his
ordnance bureau with steam, hydraulic,
and man power In the carriages
and take the pneumatic carriage,
which has received the approval of Gu
gress, the ordnance bureau of the War De-
partment, and, In fact, has been recon-
mended by himself In latterlng manner
to Congress, This should be done especially
after such disastrous experiences with gun
carriages on the Atlanta. The Secretary's
proposal to send the vessel to sea to test
her sea- going qualities is proper, bat he
certainly has all the information necessary
in the old style OF gun carriages. The
country expects the Secretary to keep
